Let me tell you this: the city of Houston had 11 hours from the time mayor White announced the opening of Brown Center to the time the first evacuees arrived! Houston has outdone herself!

Too bad ABC didn't get to read this before their broadcast.

Another eyewitness account - I posted my report this morning of my trip to the River Center in Baton Rouge.

Having olunteered for two days at Brown Convention Center, I find your article to be the most accurate in tone and detail.



Congratulations, Pookie. Excellent read.

The suffering in the city was being caused by the government's slow response instead of the gun wielding thugs who chased help away. And worst of all, "the government" came to mean the President.

It's easy to understand the MSM and DNC taking this tack because It's the same formula that they use in the war on terror. When arabic filibusters murder a score or two of Iraqie civilians with a car bomb, it's not the filibusters fault it's Americas, in particular Bush's, fault.

Wonderful read..both (and mostly) the good which sadly, we don't see enough of..

"In a sense, the people who are participating in this grapple for TV time are similar to the looters that were seen running out of abandoned stores with their arms full of shoe boxes. They are stealing the attention and goodwill of our nation by directing the focus to a purpose that supports them."

That statement is right on the mark.
